Playas de Tijuana is the coastal community of the city, a middle class suburb surrounded by lower income communities in the adjacent canyons. Working from the basic development ideas put forth by the Institute of Municipal Planning of the city of Tijuana (IMPLAN), the goal is to aid in the visualization and urban design of the specific partial plan currently developed. Current plans are to create this zone into a new economic and civic center for the larger community.
Washington University Urban Design Studio, San Diego/Tijuana Region. Focusing on community scale projects that engage a dialogue in terms of identity, culture, architecture, and community building, the 8 week studio begins with a ground-up understanding of the Tijuana-San Diego context through a series of site visits and concurrent lectures. The studio works from Woodbury University School of Architecture, located in the Hispanic district of Barrio Logan, San Diego.
